GamesCom: Sony Press Event liveblog

sonylogo1b

Sony’s GamesCom presser’s approaching like a tidal wave. But while other sites cower in fear of the towering newsmass, we embrace it. So we’ll be liveblogging it, because we love that sort of thing.

The conference begins at 6.30pm CET (5.30pm BST, 12.30pm EST, 9.30am PST).

Jump past the break for all the updates!

    I love Sony! Wooohoo ;-)

  8. Psychotext said:

    I predict they’re going to announce a slim model and that it’s going to have a 120gb HDD and retail for $299.

    I’m good at predictions.

    (They’ll also show GT5, GoW and MAG)

  16. Robo_1 said:

    In just over an hour, we’ll either be face palming all over the shop, or Sony will be on track for a fight back.

    Damn I love conference time :)

  17. Seraphemz said:

    I wouldn’t miss this buddy….wheres Shatner?

  18. Psychotext said:

    “wheres Shatner?”

    Resting snugly on his own ego.

  19. Solid_Snake said:

    Well two hours I hope they don’t just talk about the PsP >.>

  20. This whole post is turning into a bigger Playstation fanboy central then the whole of N4G. :D

  21. Cort said:

    I’m stunned Sony haven’t arranged a live video feed.

  22. Seraphemz said:

    Iiiiiiiiiiiiitttssss TIME!

  23. g00nerz said:

    Yeah, you’d think they’d want this broadcast if they’re going to announce what we think they will.

  24. bugmenot said:

    i dont why everyone is getting hyped practically the entiriety of their conferences get leaked beforehand. Only disappointment awaits, dont get you’re hopes up.

  25. Withnail said:

    Expect to see some EU-developed games that were absent from the E3 conference (because that’s SCEA’s gig).

    So
    Heavy Rain
    LBP PSP
    Motorstorm Arctic Edge
    EyePet

    Add to this GT5 and Ratchet & Clank (which has barely been shown at all), and several PSN games (Housemarque new one, Gravity Crash, PJ Shooter hopefully dated). And Wipeout HD on Blu-ray.

    Plus the widely expected other stuff: PS3 Slim + price, PSP App store, PSN movies for EU, PSN cards (maybe).

  26. Psychotext said:

    “i dont why everyone is getting hyped practically the entiriety of their conferences get leaked beforehand”

    There should still be some surprises.

  27. No_PUDding said:

    Sony post the conferenc in the PS Store after it.

    So they don’t do live.

  28. SplatteredHouse said:

    I’d far rather watch it, but i suppose gametrailers will have an on-demand version later, or something…Still, it’s not the same as the spontaneity you only get from reaction to the live feed. :(

    Anyone enjoyed EA’s live stream – what was that guy getting at, at the end of his conference? keyword: eventful.

  29. Cort said:

    @Peffy, that’s where I’m at, but I don’t believe them. How would they have what no-one else does? Well, we’ll see.

  30. Robo_1 said:

    Shouldn’t this be on now?

  31. G1GAHURTZ said:

    Did website died?

    (definitely an occasion for keyboard cat)

  32. Psychotext said:

    Seems ok now.

  33. G1GAHURTZ said:

    GET TO THE FLIPPIN’ POINT, SONY!!!!!

  34. Hunam said:

    Kotaku fell over too, some nasty DOS attacks going on or something?

  35. Psychotext said:

    I want to drive an Audi around the home spaces! Make it happen.

  36. Bulk Slash said:

    Waffle, waffle. Let’s hear about the PS3 slim, Sony! I don’t care about sales.

  37. Syrok said:

    Yay, PSN cards. About time. :)

  38. Psychotext said:

    I already have the camera, how much is EyePet without it!

  39. Blerk said:

    Did I miss anything? I was cooking my tea. :-D

    /eats tea
    /types too

  40. Psychotext said:

    Still really looking forward to Heavy Rain. I really enjoyed Fahrenheit. (Sue me, it was good)

  41. Blerk said:

    It was good until it went shit. If they leave the shit bit out this time then they should be onto a winner. :-D

  42. RomaTotti10 said:
